Hudson Valley Community College celebrated commencement this weekend.

More than 1,600 graduates took part in four separate in-person ceremonies at Joe Bruno Stadium Saturday. 

Students from the class of 2020 also got to participate. 

The group included graduates from more than 80 career fields, ranging in ages from 17 to 72.

While the HVCC graduates hailed from 37 different countries, more than 80% were from the Capital Region.

The ceremonies followed the state's pandemic precautions.
